| 1264731 | 2012-03-13 08:01:00 | After a tragedy while trying to copy my hard disk to another hard disk for backup (using Paragon) both disks became inoperable. Having reformatted the disk I was copying into and reformatted it I reinstalled Windows XP, Service Packs 2 and 3 and various other programmes. In trying to license them however I found I couldn't open Internet Explorer because "this webpage is unavailable because you are off line". In frustration I installed both Firefox and Google Chrome and both immediately operated perfectly. Other messages included: "Connecting. Dialing Xtra. Error 678 and The remote computer did not respond" I would be grateful for advice on how I can open Internet Explorer so I can licence my Microsoft programmes and dowload Adobe Flash player. Many thanks. | Xam (11850) | ||
| 1264732 | 2012-03-13 08:06:00 | This is what that error means. (support.microsoft.com). Are you on broadband or dialup? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1264733 | 2012-03-13 08:14:00 | Sorry! I should have mentioned that I am on Broadband. | Xam (11850) | ||
| 1264734 | 2012-03-13 08:21:00 | mm open IE then go to tools / internet options / advanced. Reset everything. Or go to the file menu make sure work offline isnt ticked. Get teamviewer if you want, and I can have a look (www.teamviewer.com) <- direct link to file. If you get it install it then send the ID and password it gives you to me in a PM. You'll see what I'm doing | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1264735 | 2012-03-13 17:49:00 | I reinstalled Windows XP,"Connecting. Dialing Xtra. Error 678 So how did you then set the default internet connection to be a dialup modem? Did you install all your motherboard drivers? |

| 1264737 | 2012-03-14 08:22:00 | Thank you all for your help but having tried everything - except another complete new installation that I didn't think I could face - unsuccessfully I have wiped Windows Explorer, set up Chrome as my internet connection and licensed my Windows programmes over the phone. Thankyou all!! | Xam (11850) | ||
